Christmas cards made of scrap pieces

I am a huge fan of Maja Design and use their papers for a lot of my cards and so I also have a lot of scrap pieces, because I don't have the heart to throw away all those left over pieces, even though some are very small. So I have made two Christmas cards where I have used some of my scrap pieces.

Materials used:

Maja Design - Various Christmas papers

Dies - Gittes Eget Design (Basis Rektangler & Flag, Strips Vandret)

Dies - Marianne Design (Snowflake LR0125 and Pine branch CR1378)

White cardstock

Halfpearls and hearts from my stash

Inspired by a card from Hobbybodens blog

Today I saw a card on Hobbybodens blog (link), which inspired me to make something similiar but with a little more splash, which I did by just adding one color to each card. I am pretty pleased with how they turned out, even though they are very CAS compared to what I usually make:

Materials used:

Dies - Gittes Eget Design (Strips Vandret, Midi & Maxi tillykke, Basis Rektangler & Flag)

Cardstock - white, black, turquoise and shiny lime green

Embossing folders - Cuttlebug and Sizzix

Stamp - La Blanche (Sheet metal)

More crochet dish cloths

During the summer I made several dish cloths to learn different techniques, now that I am a newbie at that, and here are some more of them:

Congratulations card

This week I bought something I have wanted to buy for a while - a hot foil machine from Spellbinders, and so when I received it Friday I immediately had to test it. I had before hand watched several YouTube videos about it and how it was also possible to use regular dies, and since I had also bought some new dies, I chose to try that. And I am pretty pleased with the outcome.

Materials used:

Spellbinders Rose gold hot foil

Rose gold cardstock from Tonic Studios

White cardstock

Prima Marketing - Apricot Honey collection

Gittes Eget Design dies - all frames and word

Sue Wilson dies - flowers
